Is that directly under the smokestack? I nailed my target directly under the smokestack, set it to run at 5m depth (since that's roughly half the draft of a T3). He slowed from 13 down to 5 knots. I have the setting turned off where sinking is emmmediately recognized. Who knows if that was enough.

Some things I could do different;

-Set the depth to run more shallow?
-Aim further back as close to the rudder as possible? I'm worried about the curviture towards the end of the ship not producing an impact.

If these solutions don't work, I am content to shadow him until I can break out the deck gun. Hopefully the DDs don't join the party.
